Tidus
"Seriously?"

Rikku
"You could always just quit your pilgrimage and get married."

Yuna
"I will...go on."
"I'm sure that Lord Seymour will understand."

Rikku
"Umm, I guess so..."

Yuna
"I am a summoner!"
"I must fight and defeat Sin."

Auron
"Like Braska before you."
I never understood why people disliked Yuna. I always found her devotion to self-sacrifice a good plot line to go in contrast to Tidus's self-serving plot. I always found that Tidus gets offed at the end and Yuna lives on to be a great irony.
It's actually quite frequent that a strong leading female must sacrifice something after her success. Whilst Yuna isn't sacrificing her life, she does have to give up Tidus as part of defeating Sin. It's almost a punishment to her in some ways for defying the 'traditional' method that was set up by Yu Yevon or whatshisfacefloatyballthingamaboo.

Other notable examples:
Buffy (SPOILER)when she has to kill Angel in order to save the world in Becoming Part II.
Sarah Walker (SPOILER)when she downloads the intersect, wiping her memories to save Chuck.

Noted, I've just written my dissertation on them so they stick out a LOT, but it's a recurring idea.
